2 flower girls #7 - The dahlia edition

Hello everyone, this is my first blogpost today since the birth of my daughter Ella three weeks ago. Inga and I are back with this autumnal edition of #2flowergirls. We chose the most autumnal of all flowers, the dahlia. I chose some deep red and orange ones, I found on my local market. I added some guelder rose berries and some rose hips to the bouquet and displayed some decorative pumpkins on the table to give it a more rustic aspect. Today's #2flowergirls will be on madame love only, but I will show you one of Inga's photos.

If you want to participate, you can post a link to your blogpost in the comment field under this post  and show us how you styled and photographed your dahlias. You can also send us the photos by e-mail or post them on Instagram or Twitter along with the #2flowergirls hashtag. We will then collect the photos and post them on our Dahlia's board on Pinterest.

I also made two small bouquets to please my dear Inga! The red one in the stem vase is called cactus-dahlia

and here is the glomerylane mini bouquet. Inga and I didn't talk about the the flowers before, but we really went for the same colours this time.

We are both looking forward to seeing your beautiful dahlias. We wish you a wonderful day.

Your 2 flower girls,

Elodie & Inga

lovely dahlia

I love dahlia, their colours remind me of a mexican painting - in fact they were declared the national flower of Mexico in 1963. I bought a couple of them yesterday on my way back home - it is very dangerous for me to pass by a flower shop everyday! So let's see if you enjoy them too. I love playing with colours, but I think it is better not to mix too much. So I grouped them in two different vases.
